Ruth believes that every person has the ability to grow towards health. With the support of a caring and strong therapist, clients are able to find the courage to look into their darkest places and find light. Symbol and metaphor are powerful tools to help move through this journey.

Utilizing a body centered and experiential approach to therapy, Ruth has found experiential therapies such as play therapy and wilderness therapy to be very effective. She witnesses and supports clients to find insight and transformation through their struggles. The therapeutic process itself can be seen as a 'rite of passage' into a deeper relationship with oneself and others.
